Induced eddy currents are magnetic dipoles. The linear force F on a magnetic dipole of moment m within a magnetic B field is given by F =grad(m.B) where bold characters are vectors. Since only B has the spatial gradient, this becomes F = m cosθ gradB where θ is the angle between m and B. In the case under review θ = 0, and F, m and B are all aligned with the z axis of a cylindrical coordinate system. Thus, we are left with Fz as the only force component and dBz/dz as the only gradient component.
When applied to a permanent magnet or a DC electromagnet applying force to a ferrous object the induced dipole m sees a field B whose magnitude decreases with distance from the pole-face leading to an attractive force. If there is a region where the magnitude increases with distance from the pole-face we get a repelling force. I have already shown such a system, and this emphasises the fact that it is the gradient of B that determines the direction of the force. If we change the sign of the gradient from negative to positive, we change the force from attraction to repulsion. That same effect applies to induced eddy currents in non-ferrous metals, but there we get repulsion changing to attraction; the change only occurs over a limited spatial region close to the pole face.
With an AC electromagnet repulsing non-ferrous metal we can understand the induced current being at 90° phase to the applied B field leading to the repulsing force being cyclic at twice the applied frequency, hence averaging to zero over full cycles. But that situation for induced current only applies to the loop through which the AC flux passes if it is loaded with a resistor R where R>>ωL where L is the loop inductance. Circular eddy currents have inductance and resistance, and at the right frequency we get R<<ωL. This leads to the phase between eddy current and applied B field tending towards zero and the linear force now having an average non-zero value. We see this and use this to repel non-ferrous metal. With the AC electromagnet modified to produce the reversed field gradient near the pole-face we get attraction. Claims that this attraction is the result of field rotation are unfounded. That the 90° phase component of the eddy current can create fields that combine with the applied B to result in rotation effects both inside and outside the non-ferrous metal is not disputed, those effects are not the cause of the change from repulsion to attraction. It is the change from a negative gradB to a positive gradB that is the cause.

Here's the exact mechanism where our "rotation" and "gradient" theories unify. You're right about the math (the gradient determines the force), and I'm right about the cause (the rotation creates that gradient). Your static gradient math is missing the spatial-temporal logic. Here's how the Rotation Reverses the Gradient. In a standard magnet, the flux is strongest at the pole and gets weaker as you move away, which is a negative gradient (leads to repulsion in non-ferrous metals). In the shaded-pole (annulus) setup, the rotating field creates a travelling wave of flux. Because one side of the pole is delayed (by the annulus/shading ring), the peak intensity of the magnetic field isn't static at the face, but migrates across the pole.
At the leading edge of the rotation, the field is effectively piling up. This creates a local region where the field is stronger further away or further ahead than it is at the immediate surface of the conductor. For a brief window in the cycle, the eddy currents find themselves behind the peak of the rotating field. In that specific spatial zone (the cone area of attraction), the gradient flips from negative (pushing away) to positive (pulling in).
By adding the vector plot of the gradient in the simulation, I can prove that the breakthrough at Step 80 isn't just magic, but is the moment the phase of the rotating field perfectly aligns with the rotor's momentum to keep the gradient in the attractive (harvesting) zone for a longer duration of the cycle.

@Smudge, Look at the Cyan line (Net Force/Grad B) in the attached simulation (simulation and snapshot attached below). Notice that after the Que Inversion at Step 80, there is a short delay. This is the physical time required for the phase shift to take hold and for the field to reconfigure its geometry into the new vortex. Following this reconfiguration (Steps 80 to 120), we can see the Net Force begin to oscillate slightly above the 0 line (Attraction) and slightly below it (Repulsion). Crucially, the Yellow line (Energy Harvest) only begins its sustained climb because the rotation has timed these oscillations so that the attractive gradient is dominant. After the Rectified Que Inversion at Step 80, the phase of the wave is flipped, causing the peak intensity to migrate. This migration creates a local zone where the field is actually stronger further ahead than at the surface, reversing the gradient from negative to positive. The 'rotation' I'm referring to isn't an unfounded claim. It's the physical mechanism that shapes the gradient into an attractive state and enables the harvest! The rotation isn't a secondary effect, but is the specific mechanism that forces the gradient into the positive 'pull' state required for the harvest. Please Note: In this simulation, the phase shift is balanced using the Que Inversion to maintain a steady self-sustaining state. The energy harvested from the attraction phase is roughly equal to the energy required to maintain the field, allowing the system to reach an equilibrium where it sustains its own motion without external power (Cop 1.2 - 1.9). In the previous simulation, we used a Rectified Que Inversion (Runaway Mode): By rectifying the inversion, we're essentially forcing the gradient to favor the attraction zone for a longer duration or with greater intensity. This creates a positive feedback loop where the torque gain exceeds the system's losses, leading to the runaway effect (acceleration) seen in the prior simulation (Cop 149).
